  • Publication number: 20170128171
    Abstract: Set of dental implant and prosthetic components (1), which comprises a dental implant (10), a transepithelial sleeve (20), a first screw (30), an upper part (40) and a second screw (50), wherein an upper end of the dental implant (10) and a lower end of the transepithelial sleeve (20) can be coupled together via a first anti-rotational connection (60), and wherein an upper end of the transepithelial sleeve (20) and a lower end of the upper part (40) can be coupled together via a second anti-rotational connection (70). Having a combination of two anti-rotational connections (60, 70) between the transepithelial sleeve (20), the dental implant (10) and the upper part (40), respectively, allows obtaining a set that is extremely rigid and resistant to torsion, for unitary dental prostheses on a single dental implant (10), and which prevents the rotation of the dental prosthesis with respect to the dental implant (10).

  • Patent number: 9241776
    Abstract: Implant removal tool (1) which allows removing an implant (5) from a patient's bone (6). The implant removal tool (1) comprises a head (2), to which a torque-providing system is attached, and a threaded body (4) preferably with a decreasing diameter. The threaded body (4) preferably has a thread to the left and is intended to be threaded into the hole (7) of the implant (5). The extraction of the implant (5) is relatively simple to carry out, removing the implant (5) in an almost clean manner and leaving a very small cavity (13) in the patient's bone (6). Therefore, the implant removal tool (1) according to the invention makes the removal of an implant (5) a far less traumatic procedure for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20150257727
    Abstract: Device (10; 30; 50; 70) for calibration of a quantitative computed tomography apparatus, which includes a body (12; 32; 52; 72) and several known-density elements (13; 33; 53; 73) attached to the body and made of different materials and in different densities from each other and different from the body. The body (12; 32; 52; 72) is configured to be placed in the mouth or on another part of a person's head, with the known-density elements (13; 33; 53; 73) arranged in the region of the person's teeth. The device enables a quantitative computed tomography apparatus to adjust its calculations so as to convert the radiodensity units of the tomographic image into bone mineral density units, by knowing the exact densities of certain points of the image, corresponding to the points where the known-density elements (13; 33; 53; 73) are located.

  • Publication number: 20150216716
    Abstract: Mandibular advancement device (1; 20) and a device preparation method and kit, comprising a mouthpiece (2) and at least one plastic strap (5; 21) with two ends (7) fitted with a slot (9) that is connected articulately to a respective cylindrical portion (11) of a lateral protrusion (10) of the mouthpiece (2). The slot (9) is closed and is longer in length than the diameter of the cylindrical portion (11), which can move along the slot (9). The strap (5; 21) acts by traction between the cylindrical portions (11) of the mouthpiece (2) to prevent the free return of the lower portion (4) with respect to the upper portion (3) of the mouthpiece (2) and therefore treats apnea, whilst allowing some advancement and lateral movement of the lower portion (4), making it comfortable for the user.
